NAME="hardwarereqs">Hardware Requirements</H1
><P
>The hardware requirements for PostNuke are essentially driven by the software 
that you wish to run on the computer. If your computer is capable of running 
PHP, MySQL, and the webserver (Apache / IIS / etc.), then it can certainly run 
PostNuke. More generous hardware configurations, additional memory, and 
increased storage space will improve the performance and capabilities of the 
system.
</P
><P
>* Internet connection: An internet connection is very highly 
recommended, but it is not required -- PostNuke will run quite happily on a 
standalone computer.
</P
><P
>* Storage: The absolute minimum storage space for an installation of 
PostNuke is approximately 8 megabytes. However, this amount of storage leaves 
almost no room for expansion. It is therefore recommended that PostNuke is 
allocated at LEAST 25 megabytes of storage space.
